CKS859 Possible flight for 5:46 AM departure scans?

I don’t believe that’s a UPS flight.

is this the flight for those who just got a departure scan at 5:46 AM from ZZ !! Not a UPS flight. but only flight going to Anchorage.

Doesn’t need to be ups. This company does charters for UPS when they’re over capacity.

My watch is taking an extended vacation in Shanghai...

Mine too.

Ladies and Gentlemen, my iPhone XS Max (0.5TB) has left the building (a.k.a. ZhengZhou)!

I'm hoping mine is on this flight. Would that be possible? Do they contract with UPS?...

Right, but there is a possibility that the departure was to another Chinese city and not Anchorage.

The locker comes after the CC

Yea I’m looking at the list of available places but no CC’s are showing. Wonder if my original address is MD and the post is in VA, so the only CC would be the one closest to my MD address.

Got launch day delivery of a XS max 256 gig space gray. Girlfriend got the same in gold, but her delivery window is sept 28-oct 5. Excited to get mine on Friday. I want to get a watch too, but damn are they getting expensive.

It is Kalitta Cargo, I'd say it is the iPhone Max express!
For those of you who want ALL the info on her....here you go (I am an enterprise user at flightaware)

Any flights to Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong? Last year some of the phones went there before heading to Alaska

Right? This morning I woke up to almost 10 pages lol. As for me, tracking is stalled in ZZ China. Hopefully we’ll see some movement soon. I’m bored lol

So bored maybe I’ll order a Series 4

A lot of you use the Deliveries app - anyone know about Parcels? Seems like it does much of the same for free

Departed ZZ... finally

 

[qwerty1202]

Okay so who is still stuck at 2:10 ZZ. No departure scan but somehow I think it’s delayed.

 

[FunkyTang]

I just put my 8+ into my new SMAX case. It fit like it was an 8+ phone case, very snug & secure...Virtually a clone.

OMG, you’re so high right now.

I’m still in ZZ too. Ugh they split up the 2:10 club.

Here is our iPhone plane, taking all our Max phones to Anchorage...

It’s likely. I remember last year, we all figured out that a batch of X’s came to ANC on a National Air Cargo flight. Not sure why people think it has to be UPS.

 

[Jimpilot]

I hate to scare anyone but earlier today my phone left ZZ and flew non-stop to

Incheon.

Last year it was the same the earlier scans went to Chek Lap Kok and the rest that stayed back in ZZ went on direct flight to Anchorage

Just image how absolutely mental we would all be right now - if we didn't know the "reference trick" - while our Apple App, website still shows "Preparing for Shipment."

Preparing means

Gold is so dang gorgeous ... I’m gonna be feeling drab all year with my Space Grey. This is the last time I don’t pick the primary marketing color. I picked Silver X because that was the marketing featured color. Should have done the same with gold this time.

GOLD is Best! BEST BEST BEST!

I have AT&T. After ordering my phone on my Apple receipt it says AT&T was charging a $30.00 upgrade fee! I said oh no they are not!!!! I’ve been with AT&T since the iPhones were 1st launched over 10 years ago, so I called them later that morning & they told me no problem they would waive the fee. I have to wait until it appears on my bill & they will waive it. So I’m expecting them to do just that & if they don’t It will be on for real & I will switch carriers. Hope this helps, just call them & protest the fee.

I am with Tmo. We don't have that nonsense.

My Xs Max silicone case just arrived!

Also while uploading to Imgur I found my tracking from last year in case anyone was still curious how this works. I remember last year I was in the second delivery window and still got bumped up to launch day:
